Chapter 4: I trust you

"Hoh~? So this is Yukemuri High huh?" Alex muttered in amazement as he stared at the school. He was currently wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt, a black jeans and a pair of white sneakers.

"Its rather impressive." Said Emi with a smile while carrying Alice on her arms. She was currently wearing a white long sleeve button down shirt and a blue jeans and a yellow sandals.

Alice was wearing a yellow sundress with a yellow sunhat and a little yellow shoes.

"Nggh," Genshiro cringed as he look around, "As expected, a festival without any presence of a divine is just weird. Like a hamburger without patties."

He now cut his black hair short, wearing nothing but a tight black tank top and black jeans and a pair of black tennis shoes.

He decided to change his style as a sign that he has now "matured" and became independent.

"So this is the school that Sagiri-chan and the others are going to?" Said Koyuzu with a smile. She was wearing a coat and a boots along with a bonnet cup.

"There's so many good scents here." Yaya looked around the stalls with her eyes sparkling in delight. She was wearing her trademark purple hoodie and purple denim shorts.

"I forgot that this is still a cultural festival, there's no liquor here." Said Nonko in disappointment. She was wearing a brown leather coat with furry collar that reaches down to her kness, she also wears a brown leather boots.

"Too bad Chitose-dono and the others couldn't come." Suzuno said with a smile as she looked around. She was wearing her usual kimono.

Aside from Chitose and Albert, only Hanzo and Hisui couldn't come, since they wanted to take back the time they have missed while they were working.

Also the Tres Bestias as well, since Harribel has tasked them to go back in Hell to bring back Starrk and Lilynette. Also to gather some intelligence since their King planned to merge "Hell" to the Demon World and turn it into a continent next to Tartarus.

Harribel though, went to the festival of course. She was silently walking behind the group, staring at everything around her.

She was wearing an orange button down short sleeved shirt with a white tight jeans and black belt, and a white sandals.

"Anyway, we'll look around for a bit guys! See y'all around." Alex grinned as he held Emi's hands as they disappeared in the crowds.

Nonko just looked at them before looking at the rest of the group, "Alright, let's split up as well~! I'm kind of curious about Sagiri-chan, Yuuna-chan, and Hibari-chan's class. They seem pretty embarrassed about it."

"Yaya will go find some delicious food to eat." Said Yaya with her eyes sparkling in joy as she left the group.

"Yaya-chan! Wait for me!" Koyuzu smiled as she followed after the host of the cat god.

"I'll go look for something entertaining." said Genshiro as he also left.

"Well, I shall accompany you Miss Nonko." Said Ashiya with a smile. He was wearing a checkered blue long sleeved polo shirt with a black jeans and blue sneakers.

"I'll go with you too." Said Rika. She was wearing a white boouse and blue skintight jeans and a pair of yellow sandals.

Nonko nodded before looking towards Harribel who just gave her a nod as the Oni smiled and began to walk.

Back in the Inn...

Hanzo, who was playing "Deity's Domain" on his computer suddenly paused, Hisui noticed this and raised an eyebrow.

With a sigh, he tilted his body and looked at the door of "their" room.

"I didn't expect that you'll come to Japan, big sis."

The door suddenly opened as a woman with short white hair and red eyes walks in, she was holding a piece of Popsicle.

This woman is none other than Sandalphon, one of the ten Guardian Angels.

"Hehe, even if ten thousand years have passed, you still keep calling me that?" Sandalphon smirked.

Hisui furrowed her brows as she glared at the woman.

"What do you want?" Hanzo aksed with an annoyed voice, "How did you even find this place in the first place? Alex put a decent bounded field around here."

"Alex? Is that the name of the Demon King? Well, he did put a decent bounded field, but sadly it isn't strong enough."

After all, Alex made this bounded field when he still wasn't very familiar of his own magic and he never did bother with it after that.

"Dude, if you don't have anything to say then just leave, Alex doesn't want Angels flocking in "his" territory. I'm gonna get yelled at for not driving you away."

Sandalphon smirked, "You're the son of Miss Big herself, having the highest position in Heaven after 'God' but now you're worried about your new lord yelling at you? That's rich."

Hanzo rolled his eyes, "Well, sorry, that was then, and this is now. Besides you guys are the one who keeps sucking up to 'God', so if you want to call yourself an angel you gotta respect authority."

Sandalphon sat down, shooting Hisui a look but ignored her afterwards. "Why are you even with that wannabe Demon King anyway? I mean, I never really know your reasons why you joined the demons."

Hanzo gave Hisui a side glance, he hesitated for a moment before answering. ".....Because I was bored. I was so devoid of anything to occupy me so I hung out with Alex to pass time."

"....Bored?" Sandalphon smiled, "Well, you're kinda right."

"So, we done here? If we are then please hurry up and leave, I really don't want Alex scolding me."

"Ah, wait, this is really important."

Hanzo groaned, "If you're asking for Yesod Fragment then forget it. Even if you losers were to kneel and beg him for it you won't even be able to convince him to gave the fragment yo you."

"No, not that, I could careless about what happened to the fragments." Sandalphon rolled her eyes, she then looked at Hanzo with a serious expression, "I'm here to ask you about the Demon King himself."

"Why don't you go ask him yourself?"

"No, no," Sandalphon smirked, "You misunderstand. I'm not talking about that wannabe Demon King, I'm talking about THE Demon King, considering your relations with him, I'm sure you know it. The Demon King's lost Artifacts."

Hanzo furrowed his brows, as he looked at Sandalphon in shock, "You...are you planning to rebel?"

Sandalphon gave a look of mock surprise, "My, how could you say that? I'm merely curious about the artifacts that allows the old Demon King to boost his power and fight a Sephira, albeit a weakened one."

She then finished her Popsicle and smirked, "If you tell me, then I might tell you about the "Da'ath" of Ente Isla. You're also searching for it right? After all, you wanted to restore the balance of the world, and you needed its power. I might even help you demons if you tell me."

Hanzo looked at her before shaking his head and turned back to his computer.

"You think we needed help? Dude, if Alex wishes to he could destroy heaven without even lifting a finger. As for the Ente Isla, though I really wanted to do it before like what "he" tried to do, but I don't really care anymore. Ente Isla could end for all I care, I'll just happily sit in our room and play games all day."

Sandalphon stared at his for a few moments before she sighed. "You really regarded that wannabe as someone who is worthy your respect and loyalty huh? Well, I guess I came here for nothing then."

With that, Sandalphon left the place. Because she knew that she won't be getting any answers.

Hisui stared at the woman before turning towards Hanzo, "Are you going to explain?"

Hanzo paused and looked at his partner with an apologetic smile, "Its....not really something I'm ready to talk about. I'm sorry."

Hisui nodded before grabbing his hand and put it on her cheeks as she smiled at him.

"Hn, I trust you Hanzo."

"Thank you, Hisui."
